I went to see glaciers

9 Sep.

Today I joined the tour where we can see glaciers. This tour is quite hard because it starts at a quarter to 7 and ends 23. We goes the place which is quite far from Reykjavík by a car. That is why it takes so much time.

My main purpose was glaciers, but views which we saw on the way to the glaciers were very nice as well. I prefer Icelandic view to Norwegian fjords. There are a few tall plants in Iceland. I think it make very unique view. That is why I think Icelandic views are more beautiful than Norwegian ones.

It was a shame that there is not enough time to take photos of those views because of group tour. If you rent a car, you can have enough time to to take photos, but it might be so hard because of strong wind.

After 5 hours, we arrived here( blue point ).

We had a snack there, changed a car and then moved to the river. We got on the vehicle which is mixed a car and a boat.

We went among glaciers by the vehicle.

We could also eat ice which is made 1000 years ago.

Then, we went to a sea where there are a lot of ice blocks.

After that, we walked on an ice mountain. Miraculously, the rain an wind stopped that time. It was a perfect weather for going up glaciers.

We can drink water which was melting glaciers like that.

There were 4 Japanese out of 7 in this group tour. I don't know why so many Japanese were there, but anyway we became friendly, so we enjoyed talking on the way to Reykjavík.
